Merge tag 'objtool-core-2021-10-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull objtool updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Improve retpoline code patching by separating it from alternatives
   which reduces memory footprint and allows to do better optimizations
   in the actual runtime patching.

 - Add proper retpoline support for x86/BPF

 - Address noinstr warnings in x86/kvm, lockdep and paravirtualization
   code

 - Add support to handle pv_opsindirect calls in the noinstr analysis

 - Classify symbols upfront and cache the result to avoid redundant
   str*cmp() invocations.

 - Add a CFI hash to reduce memory consumption which also reduces
   runtime on a allyesconfig by ~50%

 - Adjust XEN code to make objtool handling more robust and as a side
   effect to prevent text fragmentation due to placement of the
   hypercall page.
